I don't know. If I remember correctly I have read that unicode takes an extra byte per character and I did not want to hit any technical limit (max. lenghth of index key and such...)
And I dimly remember that there were such limits for FB 1.5, which have been extended along with 2.x. Our databases are still on FB 1.5 due to technical limitations of the old programming tools. Only recently I converted another big part over to C#/.net and will hopefully be done completely this summer. ciao, André -- ~~~Ihre Nachricht~~~ JC> On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 16:54, André Knappstein, Controlling JC> <knappst...@beta-eigenheim.de> wrote: >> We changed everything to Win1252 instead, which supports spanish and >> french characters as well as German Umlauts and ß JC> Why not unicode? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Firebird-net-provider mailing list Firebird-net-provider@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-net-provider
